Melissa Hargrove
Homeschool mom · Austin, TX
"My 7-year-old held up that T-Rex and said 'I made this with my brain.' I cried a little."
Derek Fontaine
Makerspace dad · Portland, OR
"Unboxed an Ender 3 on a Saturday. By Sunday afternoon my daughter had her first benchy. The guide made it actually doable."
Priya Nair
STEM teacher · Chicago, IL
"I built a whole 3D printing station on a $400 budget. Every single student designed something they were proud of."
James Okafor
Dad of twins · Atlanta, GA
"We do maker Saturdays now. Both kids have designed their own things. The 9-year-old is already modifying downloaded files."
Sofia Kowalski
Homeschool co-op leader · Denver, CO
"The Young Engineer track gave my 11-year-old real CAD skills. She's now designing parts from scratch. We didn't expect that this fast."
Marcus Webb
Stay-at-home dad · Seattle, WA
